FERREA inlet valve stem seals Chrysler Dodge 2.4 EDV
Set of 8 inlet valve stem seals for Dodge Neon SRT-4 2.4 EDV, 6 mm stem, seal and lower spring seat in one piece.
- Brand: FERREA
- Engines: EDV (Dodge Neon SRT-4)
- Material: “Poly” rubber
Chrysler and Dodge engines concerned
These seals fit the 6 mm stem inlet valves of the Chrysler 2.4 litre four-cylinder coded EDV, a twin-cam 16-valve unit best known in the turbocharged Dodge Neon SRT-4.
This engine has 8 inlet valves, two per cylinder. The seal caps the guide and meters the oil that lubricates the stem; the FERREA seal also takes over the original lower spring seat: seal and lower spring seat in one piece.
FERREA inlet valve stem seals
Fitted on the guide, the stem seal only lets through the little oil the stem needs; deprived of it, both wear quickly. As it ages or hardens with heat, oil reaches the combustion chamber: the engine burns more of it, puffs blue smoke when started or after a long spell of idling, and fouls valves and plugs.
FERREA moulds its VS1017 in a rubber compound it calls “Poly”, with an integrated spring that grips the lip around the 6 mm stem to hold back oil under hard use; seal and spring seat form a single part. The 8-piece set fits all 8 inlet valves of the EDV, while the hotter exhaust side has its own Viton seal, sold separately.

Technical guide
The brand offered
| FERREA produces valves, springs and guides in-house, plus valve stem seals, at its plants in Florida and Argentina. The brand serves high-output and racing engines, and gives its seals a lip spring so that they keep sealing despite demanding operating loads. |
Inlet or exhaust?
Both FERREA seals for the EDV carry a lip spring and include the lower spring seat, but their material differs: the inlet VS1017 is “Poly” rubber, the exhaust VS1018 is Viton (FKM), which FERREA rates as high temperature to suit the hottest valves in the head. Both are made for a 6 mm stem; this four-cylinder takes 8 on each side.
When valve stem seals must be replaced
- Oil level falling fast, blue smoke when the engine fires
- Valves taken out or head overhauled
- New valve guides installed
- Switching to uprated springs or valves

Remember the exhaust valve stem seals
Replace the 8 EDV inlet seals together with its 8 exhaust seals. On the exhaust side, FERREA has planned the VS1018 Viton set:
